Literally the only things about the Wii U that are remotely interesting are the possibility of a new Smash Bros game that isn't shitty compared to the previous one, and the Shin Megami Tensei/Fire Emblem crossover.

Hasbro fucking shut down Mane6, the guys making that awesome and legit MLP fighting game.

the coolest fucking fan project in MLP is now dead forever. Years of work and anticipation is all gone down the drain. They were like just a few months from finishing too.

They were completely non-profit, wouldn't even accept donations, but they still shut them down, this is FUCKING BULLSHIT, those guys worked fucking hard on this crap and were giving FREE FUCKING ADVERTISING and now its fucking dead. Even Lauren Goddamn Faust, creator of this fucking cartoon, thinks this is bullshit (allegedly).

First Rayman now this. All my most anticipated games of this year are dropping like flies. Next they're going to tell me they're shutting down PSO2 right for before the english release. Just watch. I don't even know wtf is happening with Dragon's Crown either.

to be fair from a competitive fighting game perspective it looked pretty crappy

that sucks but i mean i feel like there's only so much you can do with something like that. six playable characters (i know there were more planned but regardless thats really not all that much) and i mean i'm sure it was an interesting challenge to make attacks and stuff for all of them especially considering how weird the hitboxes must be on fucking pony characters but like

the mechanics seemed pretty generic though, but like i said i think there's only so much you can do? it seemed like a neat project and all but like people were actually expecting this shit to be played competitively and that's sort of mind-boggling to me because it doesn't seem like, between the ridiculously small roster and the appeal, or lack thereof, of the gameplay mechanics themselves, that people would play it for more than 30 minutes after trying all the characters and experimenting before saying "ok now what", it just doesnt have that kind of an appeal, you know? after the initial experimentation stage it doesnt seem like a game where people are going to want to actually make combos and focus on playing it competitively, it just doesn't look like that kind of a game

sure it's shitty that the horsefuckers lost an interesting project for their fanbase but ultimately that's probably the extent of what it was going to be; it wasn't a huge project like megaman legends 3 and it wasnt something that would seriously be played competitively as much as you ******s wanted it to be. hell, even melty blood and blazblue, which are big name fighting games that have awesome mechanics, don't get all that much competitive light at EVO, so aside from the fact that its a fighting game with ponies (which means you idiots are gonna go batshit over it), what makes you think this simple stuff is gonna be all that much different? even fucking arcana heart 3 which is a fighter that's fucking unparalleled in its variety and mechanics was only at evo for one year as a fucking side tournament

granted i'm the one to talk considering how many people play skullgirls nowadays but that's simply because of the small roster size and the lack of a competitive scene, though considering how it was neck and neck with Melee for EVO and managed to get its own EVO-sponsored side tournament on the premises, there's clearly a big demand for it. between the ridiculously amazing visual appeal of the game and the team mechanics, custom assists, unique characters and design with interesting properties to the moves, and awesome combo system that prevents infinites, that game has a lot going on for it. also we're getting dlc characters soon so that always helps

though it's a bit unfair to compare a visually incredible fighting game which was in development for years with a nice budget and funding to one that a small group of people were trying to scrap together in Fighter Maker, but likewise, it's also a bit unfair to say a game like FiM was going to be something worth putting on the same tier or even better because that's what you imbeciles were certainly making it out to be
